On of the most eye opening things on my mind
The idea that it is in your best interest to take the blinders off.
Blinders are a Tool.
They put blinders beside race horses’s eyes so they can focus on the goal and not on their surroundings.
When they’re on, nothing exists to a race horse but the goal.
This makes them excellent at running and it makes the entrepreneur excellent at making money.
But not without a cost.
To achieve the goal in front of you, it blinds the world around you.
As someone with slight autism, a chip on my shoulder and plenty of insecurities, my blinders gave me peace.
They allowed me to shut off unnecessary emotions to make money.
In it I found meaning and confidence.
But I missed out on plenty of wonderful things around me.
People who loved me.
Places I could see.
People I could meet.
One month I took them off to enjoy life and booked a trip to Malta with my friends.
No blinders.
I wanted to see more and feel more.
I wanted to find out what was beyond them.
To dare more.
To see what I can only see without them.
Like a certain woman at my gym.
She was invite there by her friend.
I was there by coincidence.
But this time I wasn’t blind.
And I gave myself permission to dare.
To say hi.
To ask her out.
To do it again.
And again.
And again.
To love.
To be loved.
To see what was beyond the blinders that I found so much peace in.
And it was her.
The Girlfriend.
I’ve made many wrong decisions but taking the blinders off that day was not one of them.
Can’t help but think “what if I didn’t?”
What if I kept hustling in my apartment in Europe?
What if I didn’t dare?
What if I kept my blinds on and kept running?
What an absolute, monumental waste.
I don’t know what else I might have missed.
Probably could’ve shown my grandma more love and have more stories with my groomsmen.
But there’s point in thinking about it now.
All I can do is remember that they’re not an identity.
They’re a tool.
Not to be used they’re not needed.
I’ll die.
You’ll die.
One day it will all be darkness and there will be no more race.
I pray that I’ll be wise enough to take my blinders long before that.
You can always afford losing money.
But you won’t always be able to afford keeping those blinds on.
Take them off sometime.
The world wants to show you something.
P.S.
I've never offered it before (and hopefully won't offer it again).
Available from now until March ends. (1 day left, than its gone forever)
